You know with Leshrac being so popular you'd think we'd see more Huskar.

Huskar can't flash farm

 

[LiQuid!]

The Ayesee/Capitalist cast is one of the worst I've ever heard that didn't include Zyori. Never heard two more biased casters in the same booth before.

Alliance/NIP. Both games from start to finish they both sat around D-sucking NIP. Grating to hear them both orgasm anytime NIP pulls off a play.

EU qualifier group A is giving me serious World Cup 1990 flashbacks. Everyone's drawing and the results are decided by the slimmest of margins.

Everyone, watch CSW vs Rave game two
SLasher's way Enchantress

I got meepo 10 hero challenge done in one try. Miracles do happen.

Got him in my first one. Have 7 hereos down, reroll the last 3, git meepo again. Da fuck. Forced to use him now

 

[NBtoaster]

Nice to see Bloodseeker getting some picks. He's one of those heroes who has been in the game for the longest time but remained unpickable for years. The most worthless heroes to pro dota (not counting techies, been only in cd for a few months):

Who has the most wins in the European qualifier so far?

old man haunted

surely this is a well known and common reference and not at all a fairly obscure deep pull only 90s kids from Europe would know

I've noticed a lack of deathball posts during the qualifiers so I wanted to ask how everyone feels about the meta now that things have had time to settle down. We've seen less than 20 minute games and 80 minute games so far and besides a lot of Lesh picks I'm pretty happy with the games I'm seeing now.

Would like to take this moment to plug this site which gives Dotabuff Plus esque statistics for free.

This is awesome

It has:

A heat map showing where you spend the first 10 minute or so
When you buy items
When objectives are taken (1st blood and towers + when rosh dies and who picks up aegis)
Every big team fight + participation + spells used
Chat for the entire match

Yeah, definitely is much better in the C patch.

I haven't gotten to watch most of the qualifiers so I can't speak to the competitive scene, but I feel like a majority of my personal games are seeing way more deathball. And in this patch much more than the previous one, I feel like you can simply be outdrafted and go up against a lineup that you just can't stop.

I think some of the deathball stuff in pubs could be attributed to Compendium challenges, though. It seems every game someone has the challenge to push down a T1 before 12 minutes or a rax before 23. That has a surprising amount of sway on how people play the game.

wait what? where's all that info?

I only have a "basic" tab in my matches, do I need to enable something for it to parse the details?

edit: got it. Only available for matches in the last 7 days and future matches - bummer, but understandable with the way Dota 2 handles replays

 

[TUSR]

This is my favourite dota patch since I started playing

 

[1.09]

my favorite dota patch was when centaur ulti stunned and did a million damage

 

[JambiBum]

RIP Yellow Submarine

 

[ksan]

long time since i saw such donder ownage

 

[aeolist]

dammit i was hoping na'vi would get eliminated

blink on all heroes

what a patch

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Watch BU draw in each series and not make the playoffs

 

[Monochromaticx]

pudge huh?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

navi should have picked techies into this lineup

 

[Baha]

YOLO submarine with the plays

 

[Aegus]

I love Yellow Submarine.

 

[Wok]

Good Pudge.

 

[Drkirby]

So, Winner of LC vs Vega is going to be second, right? Assuming YES can't turn this around.

 

[bbd23]

GO YES

 

[Glass Shark]

YeS is such an interesting team to watch. They have a really bold play style that is more reminiscent of NA teams. You could even go so far as to call it reckless at times, but it seems to be mostly working for them.

 

[SilentRacoon]

The good ol throws, they should have just let xboct die, going into there with no vision against a shaker and pudge is just suicide.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

This is the number one best game.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I want this game to have a rapier at one point. cherry on top.

 

[inkls]

this battle visage lol

 

[Shuggananas]

one does not simply pick pudge against navi

 

[SilentRacoon]

Sonneiko farm and itemization is

 

[t0rment]

my predictions

 

[JambiBum]

This game is so good.

 

[Eleuin]

Wtf was up with timbersaw's portrait

 

[SilentRacoon]

Wtf was up with timbersaw's portrait

He was just having a good time, let him be.

But really the casters mentioned that it probably was a glitch related to the set he was wearing.

 

[Monochromaticx]

What are the standings for navi's group?
